A spark of suspicion flashed in Jenson’s eyes. “What about Daddy?” Grayson felt his heart bleed as a bitter smile was donned on his face. “Oh no, we couldn’t possibly disturb him for something so trivial. You know how your Daddy is. He’s a busy man with packed schedules and all.” Jenson’s sharp and onyx gaze locked onto Grayson’s. “So busy he doesn’t have time for us anymore? Does he not fear no one coming to visit his tomb when he dies of old age?” A piercing flare of pity flashed in Grayson’s eyes. If only the president would die of old age! Jenson’s pupils contracted as his heart clenched in fear. The only reason Daddy had not come to visit them for so long was that he had been held back by some immovable obstacle.Now even Grand Asia was in a crisis. Perhaps the situation was way worse than he had anticipated. “Hand me the laptop,” Jenson requested.Grayson quickly placed his notebook into Jenson’s hands. Jenson hugged the laptop in his arms as he ran toward the s
Jenson’s deep gaze locked onto Grayson’s face. “I can take it. Tell me.” Storm still wished to cover up the tragedy. “Don’t trust what you see online, Jens. They’re just rumors.” Grayson waved a hand at Storm. “It’s fine, we can tell him. This child isn’t easy to lie to.” Grayson cleared his throat. Now that the lie had been seen through, he found no need to mask his emotions either. Miserably, he began, “Something did indeed happen to your daddy. He almost lost his life in an ambush on his way to save your biological grandparents. As of right now, he’s still under immediate treatment at Grand Asia’s intensive care unit.” Baby Robbie’s pupils dilated in shock. It was as if his entire body had been steered by fury. The fists under his sleeves clenched tightly on their own accord. Jenson’s expression was frightfully serene. “Who did it?” Grayson replied, “We don’t know yet. But your other Grandpa, Jack Ares, has been busy lately. He even tried to move your father from the med
Jack was extremely appalled. “What?” The news shocked him, draining his previously bright spirit and making him look like he had his soul sucked out by the devils. He appeared drained and despondent beyond comprehension. “How could that be?” Jack muttered to himself in disbelief. Jack had purposefully housed a team of the best hackers just to break through Grand Asia’s networking system. They spent every day investigating and finding faults in the system. Not to mention these hackers of his actually had the ability to break through Grand Asia’s network years ago. The only reason nothing had happened then was because Grand Asia was flourishing and he feared Jay would suspect him. Here he thought it would be the critical moment to launch an attack on Grand Asia now that Jay was severely wounded in the hospital. He had not expected that they would be able to restore the stagnant network in less than three hours. Knowing that there was some skilled professional overseeing Grand
Grayson followed them out the corridor in dejection. Among the blind, the one-eyed man was king! Jack immediately dropped his facade to order the administrator. “Administrator, give me the documents to discharge my child. I want to move hospitals!” Grayson closed his eyes hopelessly. However, right at that moment, the elevator doors suddenly opened. Rose-scented perfume permeated the air, attracting all eyes around the place. A black stiletto took the first step out with an oppressive aura, followed by a beautiful figure in a red one-piece dress. Despite the enchanting outfit and the black tulle that covered her face mysteriously, the overpowering aura she gave off had not been deterred as it cut through the atmosphere anyway. Members of law enforcement made an unconscious move to the walls, allowing her a wide road to strut upon. However, she stopped right in front of Grayson and shook her head disappointingly as she took in his ashen appearance. Then, she lifted the c
“She can’t be Angeline Severe, though?” Jack howled suddenly. “Angeline Severe died nine years ago.” The law enforcement officers shared a suspicious look, their gazes fleeting between Jack and Angeline. “One of the two of you are lying.” Jack pointed at Angeline. “It’s her. She’s the liar. She’s not Angeline Severe. You can check her files, officer.” Right as the law enforcement officer took out his phone to enlist the help of another department, Angeline quickly stepped up to interrupt. Approaching Mr. Carter who stood next to Jack, Angeline reached for the transparent file in his hands. She took out a marriage certificate and handed it to the officer. “I’ll cut you some trouble. Take a look at the date on my husband and I’s marriage certificate. That should tell you if I’m the Ares family’s daughter-in-law or not.” Then, she opened to show the first page of the certificate where the law enforcement officers could see the beautiful smile of a lady with bright eyes. She
Seeing Old Master Severe, Jack immediately approached with a fake smile plastered on his face. “Quick, Uncle Severe, look at this woman who’s pretending to be your precious granddaughter. Just look at her. How could she be your granddaughter?” Old Master Severe lifted his head to look at Angeline who was in front of him. Angeline could not help but weep tears of joy as she watched her grandfather move his head freely by himself while both his hands held the handrests of the wheelchair. “Grandfather.” She approached slowly to kneel before Old Master Severe with tears in her eyes. Old Master Severe reached out a shaky hand to caress her restored cheek as old tears began to trickle from his eyes. “Does it hurt?” Perhaps for a man such as Old Master Severe who had experienced so much of life, it took more than appearance alone for him to identify a person, for a person’s eyes told much more. Angeline’s appearance had been hideous two years ago. She may have spent every day smil
What was once unparalleled elegance was left a rebellious mess. Angeline stared at him in shock as tears continued to fall freely. She was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she ended up needing to muffle her mouth with her hand so that her sobs were no longer audible. She ended up spending 18 hours with him, watching him quietly without a sip of water or a bite of food. The doctor had urged her numerous times, but he always received the same uneasy reply from Angeline. “Let me stay with him for a little longer.” She had never thought to listen to him in this lifetime. He would think of plans to tie her to him, while she would come up with excuse after excuse to leave him. Perhaps he would not have had to suffer such an ambush if it were not for her stubborn and impulsive behavior. Even if there was no escaping the ambush, she would at least have been by his side, and he would not have to walk this path alone. The effects of the anesthetic began to wear off, and Jay fel
“I want to see Grayson.” Jay was not one to waste his energy on something so pointless. If his legs would not heal, then he would accept it as it is. There were more important things to do at that moment. The doctor relayed the president’s message to Grayson, who quickly entered the hospital room in question. “I want to be discharged.” Grayson’s eyes widened at the president’s request. “Right now, Mr. President? The doctor says your legs still need to be treated. You’re also due for a long period of physical therapy post-treatment.” Jay may be physically weak that moment, but the sharp glint in his eyes had not dulled at all as he fired a death glare at Grayson. “Why do you find the need to waste such priceless time on something that would potentially give no results?” Grayson replied, “We’ve got to at least try, Mr. President.” “Grayson!” Jay shouted fiercely, “Are you defying orders now?” Grayson sighed in frustration. “No, Sir. That’s not what I meant.”“Then get to
